Chapter 12 Chapter 12 In the end times, the few...
In the apocalypse, the few things that were not affected might be the alternation of day and night. Si Ruxu couldn't judge how long it would take, but she knew that at this time, there would not be many humans or mutant plants left.
And at this time, Si Qi was still alive. If Si Qi was alive and became very powerful, then humans and the base would still have a way to survive. Thinking of this, she felt a lot more at ease for no reason.
The two walked for a long time and roughly understood that humans mainly lived near water sources, but they were hiding very well, probably underground. However, they did not explore the details, after all, they were not from this era.
After the sun went down, Si Qi picked up some firewood and started a fire. After cleaning herself up a bit, she leaned against a tree to rest. This time she did not go to bed, for fear that if she slept comfortably, she would have some bizarre and murderous dreams again.
Si Ruxu should have considered this as well, and did not ask Si Qi to come up. She only gave Si Qi two energy bars and opened a box of milk.
Si Qi drank in small sips, glancing at her from time to time with bright eyes. Si Ruxu thought, if this was a strategy game, if she had a system, then Si Qi's favorability interface at this moment would be: plus one plus one plus one...
She was easily satisfied, always had been.
Si Ruxu deliberately avoided looking at her and averted her gaze. The longer she spent with Si Qi, the easier it was for her to recall the past, including the ones she had deliberately ignored in the past few years.
This is not good. The past should be the past. She may owe Si Qi a little in terms of feelings, but they were indeed in love during those years. They loved each other well while they were still in love, and they have a clear conscience after breaking up.
Si Qi looked at Si Ruxu's gaze that was cast at her and then quickly moved away, her fingers curled slightly. She didn't say anything, but just silently ate the energy bar and drank milk bite by bite.
This is pretty good for her. After the end of the world, there are very few people who can live like humans.
Very good already.
After she finished eating, she leaned against a tree and glanced at the sky as she was about to fall asleep.
Remaining psychics: 1,986
Time left until the next natural disaster: 26 hours
Distance to end: Four days
They had already understood the surrounding environment thoroughly, and with the help of their special abilities, they should be relatively safe, but Si Qi did not dare to sleep too deeply. When there were no natural disasters, the reduction in the number of people seemed to be writing the numbness in the bones of human beings with their lives.
She didn't dare to take it lightly.
The night slowly sank, and she felt like she was in a huge quagmire. She gradually couldn't breathe, sank, and was drowned.
There are voices all around, seemingly near and far, like the whispers of lovers and the responses from afar, "Why... why don't you want to..."
Si Qi struggled for a long time, then slowly said, "What are you unwilling to do? Who are you?"
The voice pretended to be deaf and only asked over and over again, "Why...why don't you want to, why..."
The sound became more and more shrill, and finally it sounded like a ghost demanding death.
Si Qi continued to sink, her breathing becoming too slow to supply her heart. Before she lost consciousness, she just wanted to smash the thing that managed this world into pieces.
What the hell, all you do every day is play shady things.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her body, which quickly climbed up to her heart along her bones. She couldn't help but want to curl up into a ball. She felt a sharp sense of confusion, and a large breath of fresh air rushed into her chest, and she began to cough violently.
After coughing a few times, she opened her eyes and found that she was alive again. Her body still hurt and was numb, and there was a faint smell of burning.
In front of her, the woman's eyelashes trembled slightly. As she stood up from her body, Si Qi felt her breathing become heavier, and the strands of hair on her forehead were soaked with sweat. The weather here was very cool, even a little chilly. She subconsciously wanted to touch Si Ruxu's head to take her temperature, but was dodged.
The woman tilted her head and gave her a look that was neither light nor heavy. "You almost died."
After seeing the words "You're so lucky" in Si Ruxu's eyes, Si Qi realized the burning pain in his chest, and the smell of burnt flesh by lightning lingered for a long time.
"When I woke up, you were no longer breathing, so I used lightning to give you electrotherapy. I didn't expect that you would be revived." Si Ruxu curled her lips. If you ignore her pale face, she does look quite casual and relaxed.
Si Qi felt a surge of guilt in his heart. He took the initiative to walk up to Si Ruxu and hooked her little finger. He apologized softly, "I'm sorry. I'll sleep lighter next time."
Si Ruxu looked at her equally pale face, and the anger in her heart that came from nowhere subsided a little, and her brain calmed down from the anxiety.
"This isn't your fault. If He insisted on taking your life, He would have thought of countless ways to do it." Si Ruxu's voice was cold, like a spring blocked by ice. "Then you must live even more."
Si Qi nodded obediently, and then Si Ruxu put away the bed. "From now on, we will sleep together against the tree, and you hold my hand."
"Ah?...?" Si Qi blinked in a daze, still not recovering from what he said. Si Ruxu said seriously, "So that I can react immediately, instead of discovering you only after you've died like today, okay?"
Si Qi nodded. This was a very legitimate reason, and anyone could do the same in this situation. But for some reason, her restless thoughts were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, swirling around and around.
Sure enough, even when in love, he was on the verge of life and death, and he was still thinking about these things.
Si Qi laughed at himself helplessly, and finally got rid of all the abnormal thoughts. He settled down and leaned against the tree beside him.
Si Ruxu also sat down and held Si Qi's hand.
It has been a long time since this happened. Si Qi almost forgot what Si Ruxu's hands looked like before, but she knew that her hands were covered with scars and might feel a little uncomfortable.
But she didn't move. She smelled the familiar and soothing scent of Si Ruxu and fell asleep unknowingly.
Si Ruxu heard the breathing of the people around her gradually become even, and slowly opened her eyes. She thought it was almost certain that Si Qi was definitely the key to breaking the deadlock, so she racked her brains to make Si Qi die in his dream.
What about Si Qi afterwards? How did he escape this disaster?
Si Ruxu had long noticed a spatial fluctuation surrounding them, which was more stable and powerful than Si Qi's current one. She had no ill intentions.
In this case, she and Si Qi should not have broken up in the future, and Si Qi will still protect them all the way in the future.
She looked at the sky. There were still sixteen hours left. Si Qi had been having that nightmare for a long time, but she herself seemed to have not rested at all. The dream must have brought a great mental burden to people.
Si Ruxu sorted out all the clues before slowly falling asleep. She woke up when there were still two hours left, and Si Qi was still asleep.
Si Ruxu felt that her breathing was steady, but her breath was weak. This secret realm was sucking away her vitality.
She calmly used lightning to wake Si Qi up. When Si Qi woke up, he looked at her blankly.
"Am I dead again?" Si Qi covered his aching chest and grinned a little hoarsely.
"No, I'm calling you to wake up." Si Ruxu pursed her lips. She forgot that she could just wake someone up. At this moment, she looked away unnaturally.
Looking at Si Ruxu's current appearance, Si Qi knew that she had done something wrong, but she thought it was a little cute so she smiled with her eyes curved.
"There are still two hours until the third round of natural disasters arrives. Let's eat something and explore the surrounding areas."
"Uh-huh."
Si Qi held the energy bar in one hand and absorbed the energy core with the other. After he had absorbed enough, he replenished Si Ruxu's energy. After using it for a few days, she felt that her proficiency in mastering the energy had improved greatly.
Time passed anxiously, and finally arrived after Si Qi had inspected the escape route three times, but strangely, there was no movement around.
“Maybe we are far away from the crowd, but we should not take it lightly.”
Si Qi nodded and continued to read the information in the air.
Suddenly, she felt a group of very powerful and brutal forces rushing towards her. She held Si Ruxu's hand and kept tearing the space to teleport forward. Si Ruxu did not break free. He noticed something was wrong from her expression and took out a few crystal cores and suspended them around Si Qi.
"What do you see?"
"It's a tide of mutant beasts. Those mutants outside should be almost dead."
Si Qi frowned slightly. The cries for help and the sounds of broken bones coming from the space made her heart ache.
If this was a punishment, it was too cruel. She still didn't understand who was being punished in the apocalypse.
And this is just the first major crackdown. What about the next few?
The speed of the beast tide was very fast. Even though Si Qi had tried her best to escape, her level was still too low and the time of awakening was too short. She could not sustain the long-distance consumption at all. She was soon caught up by the beast tide, and the shadows of the beast group could be vaguely seen.
Si Ruxu held the lightning power in his hand and observed calmly that the beast tide was constantly running in one direction, as if being guided by something.
"Si Qi, teleport to the rear of the beast tide." Si Ruxu's tone was firm. Si Qi nodded without questioning.
She teleported in the direction of the beast tide, but the distance at one time was not that far. Si Ruxu estimated the time interval between Si Qi's teleportations.
The first time, they were in front of the beast tide. The second time, they were in the middle of the beast tide. Si Ruxu used her lightning ability to form a lightning vortex with her and Si Qi as the center, and the mutant animals that approached were torn into pieces.
Si Qi teleported again and again, shuttling among the beasts. Si Ruxu used his lightning power to kill the mutant beasts around him. After an unknown amount of time, all the power cores floating around Si Qi turned to ashes.
After the last transmission, he finally reached the rear of the herd. Si Qi was panting heavily and looked back. He saw dense swarms of mutant beasts running towards the rear like a tidal wave. The roars could be heard from far away and were deafening.
In front of her, Si Ruxu couldn't hold on and fell into her arms. Si Qi caught Si Ruxu, with blood boiling in his throat.
It was still not safe here. She didn't know if there were any lone wild animals. She carried Cheese Ruxu on her back and took a last look at the sky.
Remaining psychics: Two
The next human disaster: 24 hours later
Distance to end: two days.
Si Qi felt a chill on his back.
What is human calamity.
